Akshara says let me help you, we’ve made Abhir smile, but this is just the start, we’ll teach him to stay happy and keep him out of depression. The two smile as Abhir dances.
The doctor has noticed improvement in Abhir’s condition and advises us to continue with our current method. I strongly believe that this will lead Abhir out of his depression soon. Abhimanyu expresses his confidence that our junior will recover. While going through Abhir’s books, he comes across his diary where he had written some jokes, the same ones he was sharing with him the other day. Distressed, Akshara finds a quiet spot in one of the wards and breaks down. Noticing her grief, Abhimanyu joins her and asks how he can help. Through tears, she expresses how much she misses Abhinav and how he had always been supportive of both her and Abhir.
I remember seeing my Nani’s death as a child, mum cried a lot, I got angry at the people, mum said the people came to mourn, and she told me we should convince the sorrow to leave soon, because it gets less if we share it. You can share your sorrow, you aren’t alone. Sometimes I listen to the radio, and it helps. They hear a song called Rukjana nahi… She smiles. They listen to the radio show…
According to RJ, letting go of past relationships is not an easy feat. We are the authors of our own love story and if love evolves, so can the people involved and the dynamics between them. Love has the power to sustain us even in the present day. Although I’m not sure what label to give this bond, let’s walk together and find out. Akshara expresses her gratitude, followed by Abhimanyu thanking her as well. She declares her readiness to focus on her career, which he applauds. As a gesture of celebration, he offers her sweets – a chocolate bar. She remarks that if we can share Abhir’s responsibilities, sorrows, and joys, then sharing a simple chocolate bar should also be possible. Together, they indulge in its sweetness.
It is a bad dream for Abhir when he wakes up in the morning. He wears his specs. He finds the bed wet. Akshara calls him out. She says get ready for school. He runs and shuts the door. She asks him to open the door, don’t scare her. He says sorry mumma. He changes clothes. Abhimanyu asks what happened. He says he can’t let me in. Manish says we will break the door.
Abhimanyu says no, one second. He leaves. Abhir sprays perfume on his bed. He covers it with a blanket. Abhimanyu jumps inside the window. He gets shocked at seeing him. He asks why did you come here, don’t touch me. He looks on. The man hugs Abhir and tells him not to worry, it happens to everyone, I used to do it a lot as a child. Abhir says it’s the third time he dreams of failing the exam. Abhimanyu says it happens to everyone.
According to Akshara, Abhimanyu is inside, talking to Abhir. The Kairav says it is a matter of quick action, presence of mind. Abhir says everyone will laugh at me. Abhimanyu says we will not tell anyone, you do not get scared, prepare for exams. I didn’t tell mumma about this for 3 days, but I’ll get caught, so Abhir asks if you can stay with me. Abhimanyu and Abhir return home. Akshara says I was afraid.
Junior was frightened of exams, Abhimanyu says. Akshara asks, Akshara, is he really your son, you used to get zero in exams. Abhimanyu says that he has been a top student, so he will teach Abhir. Akshara asks why he cannot teach him. He says we will teach him together. Abhimanyu asks Abhir to get ready. She asks Suwarna to give her breakfast. Suwarna asks her to come. Abhimanyu says Abhir is scared, so can I stay here until his exams are over?
